[PATCH] batman-adv: Remove unused variable

[PATCH] batman-adv: Remove unused variable

[Emil Goode]

The commit ed242d01 removed a node parameter from iterators.
This patch removes a hlist_node struct that is no longer used.

Sparse gives a warning:

net/batman-adv/originator.c:411:21: warning:
	unused variable ‘node_tmp’ [-Wunused-variable]

On which tree did you base your patch?
I cannot find the commit you are referring to (ed242d01) and the patch does not
apply (neither on net nor net-next).

Other than that the variable is used a couple of lines below (in the code we
have)...

Hi Antonio,

The commit ed242d01 is in the linux-next tree and my patch depends on
that commit.

Best regards, Emil

Yes, you are right. I was not aware of this commit, because the author
did not CC us (neither netdev) even if he changed the code we maintain.

As far as I can see that commit is in linux-next only.
Therefore it must be applied there.

However, I'd like you to change the commit message and write the full hash of
the commit you are referring to and its subject ("LIKE THIS"). This would make
it easier to find it.

Hi Antonio,

If it is easier I can keep an eye on when the commit lands in the
net-next tree and then resend a modified version of the patch.
Or do you want me to resend it now?

Best regards, Emil

Well, that commit should be merged in net-next after the next merge window.

You can resend it now, but be sure to CC Stephen Rothwell
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au> (the linux-next maintainer) and to clearly state that the
patch is for linux-next.

Thanks.
Cheers,


p.s. try to do not top-post please :-)

It doesn't go through Stephen Rothwell.  It goes through Andrew
Morton and it should be CC'd to Sasha Levin.
